My Word of the Year

Last year was my first time to name the year.

It was a perfect fit for 2011.

As the new year rolled around, themes started running through my head.

I once again asked God to show me and He was quick to reply.

S-T-R-E-T-C-H

Oh how appropriate … and oh how uncomfortable!!

The ideas started tumbling in my head.

I want to STRETCH …

… my FAITH

• give Christ His rightful position as ruler of my time
• encourage others with the Word of God
• banish the fears I still carry around after losing a child

… my BLOG

• share more of our daily life
• cheer on homeschooling moms
• build up community

… my FINANCES

• play the Drugstore Game
• start selling at consignment sales
• drag myself out of bed early on Saturdays to hit the garage sales

… my HABITS

• continue our shift towards whole foods
• 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week
• force myself into an earlier bedtime

… my HOMEMAKING

• scatter scripture throughout our home
• decorate for my family, not for a design mag
• shop my house and re-purpose what we have

… my CREATIVITY

• start doodling
• learn how to quill
• put my new watercolor pencils to use
  

… my COMFORT ZONE

• offer guidance to a group of future homeschoolers
• teach a Couponing 101 class
• promote my husband’s business

I hope that posting this long list will hold me accountable (gulp)!!
